    What our customers say about their holidays

    • Norman - Verified booking

      This is a beautiful property in lovely surroundings.

      A nice welcome pack was left including a bottle of prosecco. There is a well laid out open plan kitchen, dining and living area with a veranda and seating with extensive views to the lake and the hills opposite. Our weather was unfortunately not good enough to let us use it more than twice. There was a good range of board games in the lounge. Having good views also comes at a slight cost in that the property is at the top of quite a steep hill. We didn’t find this a great problem despite two of our party being in their 70s. The three bedrooms were roomy and comfortable with 2 having en-suite bathrooms. We had some doubt about what the cleaners had done before our arrival. The bathroom floors had been mopped, but the floor still had loose mop strands or (dog) hair on the floor. One of our party spent an hour “hoovering” up (dog) hair and spider webs (some with residents) from room corners and along door frames. There was also a pair of pants that had been there for some time on one of the outdoor decks. The main TV in the lounge is a Sky Glass unit that I believe is directly connected to broadband. While we had no problems with laptops or phones using the wi-fi the TV regularly had sync issues between the picture and sound. Our solution was to watch it on “catch up” after the programme had been running for several minutes. As said above, this is a lovely property in a great location, and would definitely considerate it again for a holiday. We notice from the owner’s replies to other comments that they are planning some extensive upgrades next year. Can I suggest then, consideration be given putting full length mirrors in the bedrooms, preferably close to a power point, so ladies can use a hair dryer near a mirror. One bedroom only had a mirror in the bathroom with a razor point. Alternatively, a dressing table with a mirror near a power point would be good.

    • Lynda - Verified booking

      We stayed at Jasper's Retreat in November for a week.

      Weather wasn't brilliant but still found plenty to do. There was 6 of us and 3 dogs. There was plenty of room for all. The accommodation was big and roomy but still cosy. The underfloor heating and fire was great on the chilly evenings. The bathrooms were fab as was the walk in showers. Plenty of hot water. The bedrooms are a great size and the beds were very comfortable and all have good sized TVs. The kitchen had everything you could of wished for...plenty of cutlery, plates, dishes, mugs, glasses etc. The dining room table is big with plenty of elbow room and the furniture in the seating area is big and comfortable. Great size T.V too. The views are spectacular. I would love to go again in the summer months to be able to sit outside and look at those views. We did have a power cut due to storm Debi arriving but it really didn't bother us as we had torches and it didn't last that long, only around half hour. Great shopping in the town too. Good choice of restaurants and pubs. The dogs loved it too and didn't get under each others paws as there was plenty of room for them. They are biggish dogs too...Rottweiler, Alsatian and a medium sized rescue dog. Great field just up the hill for them to have a run round and also a park area down by the lake which is very secure and fenced off. Thank you for a great stay. We will no doubt be back.

    • Paul - Verified booking

      Unfortunately, won't be staying at Gildabrook again.

      It's a very stark, minimal property, which lacks all of the usual home-from-home comforts. The positives begin and end with its location. Stayed in lots of lodges and cottages in and around Bowness - many of which are wonderful properties which put the visitor at the forefront of everything. Not so with this one, I'm afraid. No instructions for any of the appliances (if there were any, they were hidden out of sight somewhere), and only one loo roll and one hand wash on arrival for a family of four. The Lakelovers Welcome Pack with a bin bag and a tea towel in was a poor substitute for something more thoughtful. A tea bag or two or maybe a couple of sachets of coffee to quench guests' thirsts after a long journey would have been better. Many more things amiss, but hopefully the owners will take an objective look at the place within the not too distant future, put themselves in the shoes of visiting families, and make some of those much-needed improvements/changes. Too many missing or poorly-executed things to list. Most glaring: paint on the curtains in the back bedroom from a previous touch-up, and hole in the landing wall where the bathroom door has been repeatedly knocked against it. Doorstop @ a few £s max., job done! Shame, as the location was superb.

    • Stacey - Verified booking

      Spend a lovely week here with family.

      There was a range of ages in our party. Myself and my husband and our 23 month old. There was also both sets of grandparents ranging from from 70 to 80 years, and 2 dogs. The house was beautiful and spacious, and has everything you could need. Gorgeous views across the lake and beyond and lovely outside furniture if you get nice weather. It’s quite a steep hill to and from the cottage but there’s a gentler route, if you turn left down the first bit of hill when coming out of the cottages street and then turn right onto a side street, it brings you out at a children’s playground and The Angel Inn pub and it’s not so steep to head out on foot. We had an issue with the hob not heating up and we tried everything, Sykes were really quick to get someone out to us. Turns out the big blue pan is not compatible with an induction hob, so really it needs removing so you doesn’t happen again. The house has lots of board games which was great and the sky glass tv had movies and sports and Netflix so it was perfect for relaxing after a long day. We absolutely loved our trip and will definitely be back to Jaspers Retreat.

    • Jane - Verified booking

      Jaspers retreat is a beautiful property with stylish and quality furnishings.

      It was cosy and comfortable, and very well equipped with everything you could possibly need. This is truly a home from home and we would definitely return. The open plan kitchen, dining and living area was a joy.. well thought out and with stunning lake views. The bedrooms and bathrooms were beautiful and I can honestly say the beds were the most comfortable we have slept in over the 14 years we have been visiting the lakes. The outside balcony area was lovely, unfortunately we didn’t have enough of a dry spell to make much use of it, but a lovely place to sit and take in the views. One small point was that the decking felt like it needed a little attention.. and being so high up it could make you a little nervous to walk on. There isn’t much of a useable garden, which is a shame as we love a garden, but we knew this before we booked so it wasn’t a surprise. The location was great, and gave fabulous views, but those with walking difficulties would struggle with the climb back up the hill. All in all, Jaspers retreat is a joy. Thank you for sharing
